'' — for  the  Good  of  the  Building'' 


Beauty  plus  Firesafeness 

TO  the  Architectural  profession  and  the  Building  Trade  In  general,  the  importance  of 
building  for  hresafeness  has  assumed  the  proportions  of  a profound  duty.  Each  year 
prcvoitable  fires  snuff  out  thousands  of  liv^es.  Every  four  minutes  some  dwelling 
burns  — every  seven  minutes  fire  destroys  some  farm  building.  Fifteen  hotels,  five  schools, 
five  churches  and  a hospital  are  Included  in  the  average  daily  toll  of  fire.  More  than  a half 
billion  dollars  annually  is  the  loss  through  these  ravages  of  fire. 

Without  the  slightest  sacrifice  to  architectural  beauty,  thousands  of  lives  and  many  mil- 
lions of  dollars  can  be  saved  every  year  by  specifying  Milcor  Art  Metal  Roofings  and  other 
Milcor  Products. 

Experience  has  demonstrated  to  many  Architects,  Engineers,  Contractors,  Carpenters, 
Dealers,  and  others,  that  the  excellence  represented  In  Milcor  Architectural  Sheet  Metal 
is  something  which  cannot  be  purchased  through  dollars  and  cents  competition. 

Such  excellence  Is  no  accident.  It  is  the  result  of  years  of  effort,  proper  application  of 
experience,  adequate  equipment,  and  highest  manufacturing  ideals. 

From  the  standpoint  of  beauty  and  propriety,  as  well  as  economy  and  endurance,  Milcor 
Metal  Tile,  Shingles,  Ceilings,  Cornices,  Skylights,  Ornaments,  etc.,  thoroughlv  deserve  the 
broad  recognition  accorded  them  by  Architects  and  Builders. 

Architectural  Specifications  are  outlined  throughout  various  sections  of  this 
Data  Book,  covering  the  application  of  the  products  under  discussion.  At  any 
time,  the  Milcor  Engineering  Division  will  be  pleased  to  submit  “lump  sum” 
estimates  or  “Quantity  Surveys”  on  any  portions  of  a building  involving  possible 
use  of  Milcor  Products.  No  obligation  whatsoever.  Make  use  of  this  service.

THESE  BATTERIES  OF  PONDEROUS  PRESSES 
HAVE  PRODUCED  MILLIONS  OF 

MiTcbnrriTEi^  metal  tiles.shingles  and  slate 


“'»nTFiocK^\  the  Secret  of  MlLCOK^ 

Metal  Roof  Superiority 


The  complete  “Titelock”  line  in  Milcor  Metal 
Rooting  includes  the  following  units:  Spanish 
Metal  Tile;  American  Metal  Tile;  Art  Metal 
Shingles  (in  three  styles);  Metal  Slate,  and  suitable 
Metal  Trimmings  for  each  type. 

In  all  of  these  units  the  Titelock  feature  is  embodied. 
7'his  unique  sidelock  is  the  detail  that  makes  Milcor 
Metal  Tile,  Shingles  and  Slate  so  successful. 

Fire  Safeness  Reduces  Insurance 

Red  hot  sparks,  burning  embers  or  firebrands,  falling 
on  Milcor  Metal  Roofs,  fade  away  and  die  without 
causing  the  slightest  damage.  Lightning,  too,  is  ren- 
dered harmless  — is  shunted  off  and  carried  down  Into 
the  ground  by  Milcor  Conductor  Pipes  and  rain  spouts. 
Idghtning  gets  no  chance  to  wreck  buildings  thus  pro- 
tected. 

The  facts  pertaining  to  the  fire-and-lightning  resis- 
tance of  metal  roofs  have  been  so  definitely  established 
that  lower  insurance  rates  now  apply  on  metal-roofed 
buildings.  In  most  localities  25%  to  40%  is  saved. 

Economy  and  Permanence 

Ordinarily,  light  wood  sheathing  is  sufficient  for  Tite- 
lock Roofs.  Their  light  weight  does  not  demand  heavy, 
special  structural  work  throughout  the  building  as  some 
heavy  tile  roofings  do.  First  cost  is  low  — upkeep 
expense  can  be  disregarded  entirely  because  these  per- 
manent metal  roofs  cannot  crack,  break,  warp,  curl  or 
rot  — and  their  extreme  durability  also  contributes  to 
the  fact  that,  in  terms  of  service,  these  are  the  most 
economical  roofs  known. 


Starting  at  the  left,  lower  corner  of  the  roof, 
tlie  first  row  is  laid  to  a chalk  line.  After 
inserting  the  flange  (on  the  left  edge  of  the 
tile  or  shingle)  into  the  sk>t  on  the  right  edge 
of  the  preceding  tile  or  shingle,  an  inseparable 
l.OCK  occurs — a tight  joint  through  which 
no  water  or  moisture  can  work  its  way.  When 
the  Titelock  roof  is  laid,  there  is  no  possibility 
of  joints  separating. 

Xotice  the  end  caps  on  the  “Starter  Tile” 
in  the  bottom  row  to  the  left.  These  Starter 
Tile  are  furnished  complete,  as  shown.  The 
end  caps.  instead  of  being  soldered.  are 
seamed  tightly  to  the  tile,  thus  making  leakage 
impossible. 


Any  mechanic  can  lay  Titelock  roofs.  No 
special  tools  are  required  — ordinary  Tinner’s 
Snips,  hammer  and  nails  are  sufficient.  No 
solder  necessary  — the  efficiency  of  the  Tite- 
lock feature  obviates  the  use  of  solder  at  any 
joints.  A carpenter  can  ordinarily  lay  Tite- 
lock faster  than  wooden  shingles. 


Every  nail  hole  and  nail  head  is  completely 
covered  when  the  next  Titelock  unit  to  the  right 
is  connected  and  laid  flat  in  its  proper  place. 
Not  a single  spot  is  exposed  for  water  to  get 
th  rough. 


The  ribs  at  the  top  of  each  Titelock  unit 
effectively  prevent  backing-up  of  melting  snow 
or  water  under  the  roof.  Leakage  induced  by 
capillary  attraction  is  impossible  here.  Rain 
or  snow  cannot  be  driven  in  under  the  metal 
surface  at  any  point.

Beautiful ! 


T(3  the  rare  beauty  and  charm  of  that 
quaint,  heavily-ribbed  tile  of  old  Spain, 
add  the  practical  advantages  of  metal, 
plus  the  weather-baffling  “Titelock”  design. 
Ehe  result  is  Milcor  Spanish  Metal  Tile,  the 
most  practical  adaptation  of  this  popular 
architectural  motif  in  roofing. 

Weighing  only  one-eighth  as  much  as  clay 
tile  and,  therefore,  requiring  only  a light  sup- 
porting structure,  a substantial  saving  in  time, 
labor  and  materials  is  obtained. 

ITisily  finished  in  any  color  scheme  desired 
— although  regularly  furnished  in  red,  green 
or  gaKanized  Copper-bearing  d'erne  Plate, 
.\l\MCO  Ingot  Iron  or  in  Pure  Copper  — 
this  rooling  lends  itself  ideally  to  the  general 
artistic  scheme  of  the  building.  Universally 
accepted  as  gootl  taste.

LWAUKEE  CORRUGATING  COMPANY 


Enduring ! 


THE’  length  of  service  rendered  by  Mil- 
cor  Metal  Roofs  depends  somewhat  on 
the  material  specilied — but,  in  general, 
these  roofs  will  outlast  the  building. 

Milcor  Pure  Copper  Tile  are  everlasting. 
They  cannot  corrode,  they  show  no  effects  of 
wear  and  they  need  no  attention.  Milcor 
"Copper-bearing"  Terne  Plate  or  ARMCO 
Ingot  Iron,  Painted  or  Gah  anized,  should  be 
repainted  everv  four  or  five  vears  — the  fre- 
quency of  repainting  depending  on  local  cli- 
matic conditions.  When  given  reasonable 
care,  such  roofs  render  perfect  protection  for 
fifty  to  one  hundred  vears. 

Extremes  of  temperatures  have  no  effect  on 
Milcor  “TItelock"  roofs.  The  ravages  of  ice, 
snow,  driving  torrents  of  rain  and  heavy 
winds  cannot  crack,  chip,  or  break  them.

Starter  Tile 


The  attracti\e  roof-eliects  produced  by  Milcor 
'I'itelock  American  Metal  Tile  cannot  be  obtained 
in  such  thoroughly  practical  manner  by  any  other 
type  of  roofing. 

'Ehe  design  is  sufficiently  bold  to  create  strong  lights 
and  shadows  — a pleasing  combination  of  neat  panels 
— a quality  effect  which  never  grows  tiresome.  The 
precision  in  appearance  which  is  so  desirable  in  heavy 
slate,  or  in  fiat,  clay-tile  roofs,  Is  obtained  through 
.American  Metal  Tile,  but  the  excessive  weight  of  slate 
or  clay  is  avoided  and  the  supporting  structure  can  be 
built  just  as  light  aiul  as  economically  as  for  ordinary 
wooden  shingles  or  composition  roofs. 

I'ixceptionally  pleasing  cohn*  effects  can  be  obtained, 
in  beautiful  harmony  with  the  rest  of  the  building. 
And  these  Milcor  American  Metal  I ile  Roofs  are  as 
[iractical  as  they  arc  good  to  look  at  — cracking  or 
breakage  cannot  occur,  there  is  no  tire-hazard,  or  danger 
from  lightning,  no  warping,  curling  or  rotting  — no 
leakage  under  any  circumstances  of  weather.

MiLCOJhLf  ‘‘Titelock” 
American  Tile 

Till'’,  torniation  of  each  tile  — and  this  is  true 
also  of  Milcor  Spanish  Metal  Tile  — is  such 
that  air  pockets  are  fonneil,  which  act  as  an 
insulating  air  blanket  after  roof  is  laid.  Phis  insu- 
lating layer  of  air  is  an  effective  aid  in  warding  off 
suinnier’s  heat  and  winter’s  cold,  as  well  as  making 
roofs  sound  proof. 

The  “ l itelock”  feature  has  value  from  a sanitary 
standpoint,  too.  It  keeps  out  dust  as  well  as  rain  and 
wind.  Rooms  directly  under  “Titclock”  roofs  are 
kept  clean  more  easily. 

And  for  people  who  have  cisterns  for  rain  water, 
any  Milcor  Metal  Roof  Is  ideal,  because  these  roofs 
(.lo  not  discolor  rain  water  nor  pollute  it  w-ith  tar  or 
oil  products  and  there  are  no  pebbles  to  wash  off  and 
clutter  up  the  rain  spouts  or  cistern.

“Titelock”  Art  Metal  Shingles 


TO  the  owner  of  the  building,  the  Milcor 
ritelock  feature  means  a great  deal. 
Our  extensive  National  advertising  has 
educated  the  Public  to  appreciate  the  advan- 
tages available  onlv  in  this  type  of  roofing. 

To  the  Architect  and  Contractor,  Milcor 
“d'itelock”  also  means  much,  because  the 
superiority  of  this  modern  roofing  results  in 
work  that  is  successful  in  the  broadest  sense 
of  the  term  — a service  well  rendered, 
owners  thoroughly  satisfied,  repeat  business 
and  profit  — fine  enough  for  the  most  costly 
dwelling  — in  good  taste  on  any  structure. 


Invariably  the  building  roofed  with  Milcor 
Titelock  Art  Metal  units  is  recognized  as 
worth  more  and  can  be  sold  easier  and  at  a 
higher  price  than  it  ordinarily  would  bring. 

Titelock  Art  Metal  Shingles,  furnished  in 
three  designs.  A,  B,  and  C — offer  an  inter- 
esting medium  for  distinctive  roof  effects, 
especially  for  churches,  theatres,  business 
blocks,  and  public  buildings. 

Two  sizes  are  available.  The  larger  size 
intended  for  the  main  roofs  and  the  smaller 
size  for  towers  and  gables  or  similar  sub- 
sidiary portions  of  the  roof.

ETA 


All  styles  of  'I'itelock  Art  Metal 
Shingles  and  Slate  are  laid  in 
the  manner  shown  above,  the 
edge  fitting  snugly  over  the 
bead,  or  at  the  arrow  in  the 
center  of  the  next  lower  row. 


The  four  ribs  at  the  top  of  each 
unit  are  four  good  reasons  why 
rain  or  melted  snow  cannot 
“back  up"  underneath  Titelock 
roofs. 


MilcoKj  “Titelock”  Metal  Slate 


THIS  metal  slate  — or  style  “D”  Tite- 
lock — is  justly  popular  for  the  precise, 
neat  effects  it  produces.  It  is  offered 
in  two  sizes,  10  inches  by  14  inches  and  7 
inches  by  10  inches. 

By  staggering  each  unit  as  above,  all  possi- 
bility of  leakage  at  joints  of  units  is  elimi-

Titelock  Trimmings  Adaptable  to  American  Metal  Tile,  Art  Metal  Shingles  and  Metal  Slate. 


Milcor  Art  Metal  Roofing  and  Trimming 


.1  pplication  of  Milcor  Spanish  Metal  Tile:  Commence 
la\ing  closed-end  Starter  Tile  at  lower  left-hand  corner 
when  facing  the  ridge.  Use  chalk  line  to  keep  the  first 
course  precisely  straight.  With  this  straight,  the  rest  of 
the  roof  will  naturally  come  straight.  The  second  and 
subse()uent  courses  are  laid  with  regular,  open-end  tile, 
always  starting  at  the  left.  'I'he  joints  continue  straight 
up  on  this  type — not  staggered  as  with  American  Tile, 
Shingles  and  Slate. 

.It  Talleys  (figure  No.  1,  above)  use  right  and  left 
Valley  Tile  No.  168  and  No.  169  respectively,  as  illus- 


trated on  page  9.  The  Nailing  Flange  “A”  on  tile  No.  1 
is  bent  up  to  fit  over  V'alley  Tile  No.  4.  Tile  No.  2 locks 
into  Tile  No.  1,  covering  Nailing  Flange  “A.”  Notch 
V'alley  Tile  No.  4 at  point  “B,”  where  Valley  Tile 
extends  beyond  regular  tile.  The  upper  lip  of  Valley 
Tile  No.  4 fits  into  the  lock  of  Tile  No.  3,  while  the  lower 
lip  on  Valley  Tile  No.  4 fits  into  the  lock  of  Valley  Tile 
No.  5.  Flange  “C”  on  V'alley  Tile  No.  5 underlaps 
Valley  Tile  No.  4. 

Cut  the  \'alley  Tile  to  the  same  angle  as  the  Valley, 
allowing  a projection  of  about  one-half  inch  over  the

fold  nearest  the  break.  Bend  the  projecting  part  of  the 
tile  to  form  a hook  over  the  fold,  after  which  a hand 
tongue  or  any  other  suitably-shaped  tool  can  be  used  to 
lock  the  tile  to  the  fold  in  the  Valley. 

At  End  Walls  and  Ridges,  (Figure  2),  use  End  Wall 
Flashing  No.  163  and  Ridge  Tile  No.  162  respectively,  as 
illustrated  on  page  9,  wherever  the  Field  Tile  run  dead 
into  wall,  dormer,  chimney,  skylight,  etc.,  or  ridge.  This 
Flashing  is  stamped  and  cut  out  so  as  to  fit  snugly  over 
raised  part  of  Field  Tile.  The  sides  of  various  projective 
surfaces  are  flashed  by  bending  the  tile  so  that  it  projects 
up  the  side  of  the  wall,  etc.,  not  less  than  3 inches,  and 
then  counterflashed  down  to  within  1 inch  of  the  roof.  Hip 
Finial  No.  164-A  or  No.  172,  are  used  as  required. 

At  the  Hip  (Figure  3)  nail  a board  1 inch  x 
inches,  on  edge,  on  the  top  of  roof  boards  and  in  line 
with  the  hip  rafter.  Field  Tile  are  then  cut  at 
angle  to  fit  against  this  board.  At  the  eave  end  of 
hip.  No.  167-A  Hip  Starter,  illustrated  on  page  9, 
should  be  applied — then  the  application  of  Hip 
Tile  No.  165  can  begin.  Hip  Tile  are  made  in 
two  parts — right  and  left.  Looking  at  the  ridge, 
the  right  half  of  the  hip  should  he  applied  first 


Figure  6 

and  then  the  left  half  lapped  over  the  right  on  top  of  the 
board.  Hip  Tile  are  cut  out  so  as  to  fit  the  raised 
part  of  the  Field  Tile.  To  make  a finished  apearance 
where  two  hips  meet,  a finial  is  furnished. 

At  the  Gable,  on  verge  end  (Figure  4)  for  all  types 
of  Milcor  Roofs,  Gable  End  Finish  No.  155,  as  illustrated 
on  page  9,  should  be  used.  At  the  left  gable  (when  fac- 
ing ridge)  the  Gable  End  Finish  must  be  in  place  before 


CHIMNEY  AND  DORMER  SIDES 
Shingles  are  bent  up  to  fit  about  3 inches  onto  the 
sides  of  dormer  or  chimney  and  then  counterflashed. 


Figure  5

the  application  of  tile  is  started.  I'his  Gable  Finish  is 
merely  nailed  through  the  Hange  over  end  of  roof.  The 
left  sides  of  tile  are  then  inserted  into  the  fold  of  the 
Finish  and  the  fold  is  theti  securely  malleted  down  over 
the  edge  of  each  tile  inserted. 

.It  Eu-ve  Edge  (Figure  5),  when  using  “Titelock" 
.American  File,  Shingles  or  Slate,  Eave  Finish  No.  154 
should  be  used.  It  is  merely  nailed  to  the  eave  edge  and 
the  bottom  edge  of  the  first  course  of  American  Tile, 
Shingles  or  Slate  laps  over  the  four  ridges  of  this  Eave 
Finish  just  as  each  unit  thereafter  locks  over  the  ridges 
of  the  preceding  course,  to  prevent  water  from  backing 
up  or  blowing  in  under  the  roofing.  See  page  15. 

.It  I'tilleys  (Figure  6),  for  all  types  of  Milcor  “Tite- 
lock’ Roofing,  use  Formed  Valley  No.  156,  as  illustrated 
on  pages  9 and  15,  in  either  14-inch  or  20-inch  widths, 
as  re(|uired.  Fhe  20-inch  is  more  desirable,  as  it  pre- 
sents a larger  surface  on  each  side  of  the  break  for  the 
How  of  water.  I'his  Valley  is  formed  with  two  folds 
on  each  side  of  the  break,  the  folds  being  pitched 
slightly  toward  the  break  so  as  to  make  the  Valley 
absolutely  waterproof  after  the  roofing  units  are 
applied.  Laying  of  the  Valley  is  started  at  the  eave 
end  and  is  run  up  to  the  ridge.  Each  joint  must  be 
lapped  at  least  2 inches  and  shoulil  be  well  soldered. 
Nailing  should  be  done  only  along  outer  edges  of  the 
\'allev. 


Figure  10 

Figure  7 shows  how  the  sides  of  Dormers,  Chimneys, 
etc.,  as  tvell  as  Saddles,  are  flashed.  Notice  instructions 
on  the  drawing. 

Figure  8 shows  how  No.  161  End  Wall  Flashing  is 
used  wherever  the  Shingles  run  dead  into  a wall,  chim- 
ney, dormer,  etc. 

Figure  9 shows  how  No.  150  Ridge  should  be  applied. 
Do  not  apply  until  the  shingles  are  in  place  at  the  right 
point.  The  shingles  should  extend  approximately  one 
inch  over  the  ridge  and  can  then  be  bent  to  fit  over  the 
other  side.  After  this  is  done  in  each  side  of  the  ridge. 
No.  150  Ridging  should  be  applied.  This  ridge  finish  is 
in  2-foot  lengths  and  has  slip-joint  connections,  making 
a neat,  attractive  and  weather-proof  finish. 

Figure  10  shows  Gable  Finial  No.  151,  Ridge  No.  150 
and  Gable  End  Finish  No.  155  in  relative  position. 

Figure  11  shows  the  application  of  No.  157  Hip 
Finish,  with  regular  Hip  Finial  and  No.  159  Hip  Starter. 
Application  of  No.  157  Hip  Finish  should  be  commenced 
at  the  ridge  and  be  worked  down  to  the  eave.  This  is  a 
slip-joint  product,  thereby  covering  all  nails  and  making 
a neat  as  well  as  a weather-proof  finish  at  the  hip.

I\  the  Milcor  Alplna  \"entilator,  the  entire 
capacity  of  the  Hue  is  utilized  for  the  ex- 
pulsion of  foul  air,  the  cap  or  upper  por- 
tion of  the  ventilator  being  three-fifths  larger 
than  the  Hue. 

I he  remarkable  efficiency  of  the  Alpina 
lies  in  its  sensitiveness  and  obedience  to  air 
currents.  1 he  revolving  part  of  this  Venti- 
lator runs  on  brass  ball-bearings  which  are 


completely  encased  and  weather-protected. 
Surmounting  this  revolving  section  is  a broad 
vane.  The  slightest  air  movement  against 
this  vane  turns  the  mouth  of  the  Alpina  to 
the  leeward  of  the  wind,  thus  preventing  any 
possibility  of  back  draught. 

1 he  syphonating  power  of  the  Alpina  ^Tn- 
tilator  is  produced  by  the  rush  of  exterior  air 
currents  entering  between  the  Haring  aprons 
at  the  base.  Guided  upward  and  out  of  the 
mouth  of  the  ^Tntilator,  these  air  currents 
pass  directly  over  the  end  of  the  Hue  and 
create  a vacuum  which  forcibly  draws  out  the 
foul  air.  There  are  thousands  of  Alpina 
Wntilators  in  successful  use  on  all  types  of 
buildings. 


24 


Efficiency  Built-In 

I'he  Alpina  is  ruggedly  built, 
rigidly  braced  throughout  to  keep 
it  from  getting  out  of  true  — 
braces  on  each  side  of  the  vane ; 
rod  reinforcement  around  mouth 
of  exhaust ; brace  riveted  at  back 
of  vent  and  a seainless  tube  rein- 
forcement which  holds  vent  in 
place  as  it  revolves  on  its  bearings. 
Another  brace  provides  additional 
stability  and  free  swing  of  upper 
section.  The  non-rustable,  fully 
encased  ball-race  is  firmly  braced; 
the  perpendicular  shaft  rests  se- 
curely on  a crossbar  which  is  also 
braced.

A Testimonial 

We  liave  a Ijattery  of  ten  heat-treat  furnaces  in  this  depart- 
ment and  previous  to  the  installation  of  Alpina  Ventilators,  it 
was  nearly  impossible  for  us  to  keep  men  on  this  job,  due  to  the 
fact  that  these  furnaces  at  times  give  off  excessive  amounts  of 
smoke  and  gas.  We  are  pleased  to  say  that  since  tlie  installa- 
tion of  the  Ventilators  has  been  made,  we  have  not  hafi  a single 
complaint  in  this  department  from  this  cause.

AUTOMATIC  - EFFICIENT 
PERMANENT 


The  new  Milcor  Turbine  Ventilator  represents  the  utmost  in 
ventilating  efficiency.  It  requires  absolutely  no  power  and  yet 
draws  a remarkable  amount  of  air  through  its  powerful  up- 
ward suction.  It  exhausts  surely,  silently  and  cheaply,  in  any 
terr.perature  and  under  every  condition. 


The  Improved 

MILCOKj 

Turbine  Ventilator 


The  Milcor  Turbine  Ventilator  handles  difficult  ventilating  problems  on  which  power-driven  systems  were  used  heretofore. 
It  has  proven  its  efficiency  time  and  again.  Because  its  ability  to  withdraw  impure  air  is  measurable  and  guaranteed,  there 
is  no  question  about  its  satisfactory  operation.  It  is  especially  adapted  for  removing  smoke  and  gas  in  factories,  mills  and 
garages  where  constant  dependable  ventilation  is  an  acknowledged  necessity.  Good  ventilation  is  also  supplied  by  Milcor 
Ventilators  in  churches,  schools,  hospitals,  and  public  institutions  where  the  comfort  and  well-being  of  the  occupants  are 
of  prime  consideration. 

DEPENDABLE  OPERATION  METHODS  OF  INSTALLATION 


The  slightest  motion  of  air  is  sufficient  to  operate  the  Milcor  Turbine 
Ventilator.  A vacuum  is  created  as  soon  as  the  head  begins  to  revolve 
because  the  air  within  the  head  is  expelled  by  centrifugal  force.  This 
ventilator,  therefore,  actually  pulls  out  the  impure  air  automatically, 
continuously  and  silently.  The  rotating  turbine  makes  down  drafts 
a mechanical  impossibility. 

The  real  reason  fcr  unbearably  hot  attics  in  summer  is  lack  of  ven- 
tilation. The  installation  of  one  or  two  turbine  ventilators  on  tbe  roof 
of  the  attic  will  make  such  a difference  in  the  temperature  of  both  the 
attic  and  the  rooms  below,  that  expensive  insulation  to  keep  out  heat 
is  not  necessary. 

RIGID  CONSTRUCTION 

The  blades  and  base  are  built  of  galvanized  Armco  Ingot  Iron,  pro- 
tected with  a special  compound  which  renders  the  metal  practically 
immune  to  the  deteriorating  action  of  weather  and  acid  fume  condi- 
tions. The  ventilator  is  also  constructed  of  cold  rolled  pure  copper. 
Attention  is  called  to  the  particularly  strong  frame  work  which  sup- 
ports the  bearings  at  top  and  bottom  of  the  head.  It  is  equipped  with 
Alemite  fittings  and  when  once  installed  requires  no  attention,  care  or 
adjusting  other  than  lubrication. 


Care  should  be  taken  not  to  install  the  Milcor  Turbine  Ventilator  in 
any  pocket  under  a ridge,  or  behind  any  obstruction.  Place  it  high 
enough  to  get  the  breeze  from  every  direction.  It  should  be  set  plumb 
vertical  when  installed  and  then  absolute  satisfaction  is  assured. 

It  is  well  to  build  condensation  gutters  into  all  ventilation  bases  which 
support  Milcor  Turbine  Ventilators,  since  hot.  humid  air  striking  a 
cold  ventilator  causes  moisture.  These  gutters  should  have  vents 
opening  out  over  the  supporting  sills. 

STANDARD  SPECIFICATIONS

'Nu- Air’  ’ Ventilators 

MILCOR  Xu-AIr  Stationary  ^Tntilators 
possess  great  exhaust  capacity  and 
strength.  The  sloping  dome  keeps  out 
rain,  snow  and  sleet.  The  corrugated  weather- 
band  adds  to  the  strength  and  rigidity  of  Xu-Air 
and  affords  additional  vacuum-creating  power. 

Outer  air  currents  rush  in  between  the  weather  band 
and  the  curved  deflector.  Acting  at  an  angle  of  45°, 
these  currents  travel  upward  and  outward,  thus  con- 
stantly discharging  a full  volume  of  impure  air  through 
the  ventilating  shaft.  Constant  circulation  of  fresh 
air  ensues.

“Puttyless”  and  Puttied  Skylights 


MILCOR  “Plittylcss”  Skylights  repre- 
sent a distinct  step  forward  in  sky- 
light construction.  Because  of  the 
unique  design  of  the  metal  units  of  the 
“Puttyless”  line,  the  glass  is  held  securely  in 
place,  permanently  leak  proof,  without  the 
use  of  any  putty. 

Puttying  glass  into  ordinary  skylights  re- 
quires skill  and  the  time  and  labor  required 
to  accomplish  a proper  installation  is  a con- 
siderable item.  This  wasted  time  and  ex- 
pense is  avoided  with  Milcor  “Puttyless” 
Skylights. 

Replacement  of  Milcor  uniform  glass 
units  is  a very  simple  task  on  “Puttyless”  Sky- 
lights. Anyone  can  do  it  in  a few  minutes. 


But  to  replace  tlamagcnl  glass  in  a puttied  sky- 
light iinolves  considerable  work  — digging 
out  the  hardened  putty,  scraping  all  edges 
clean,  fitting  in  the  glass  ami  re-puttying.  It 
demands  a skilled  workman  to  produce  a 
satisfactory  replacement.  Contrast  that 
bother  and  expense  with  the  simplicity  ami 
economy  of  merely  fastening  the  copper  clips 
of  the  “Puttyless”  around  the  glass. 

The  complete  line  of  Milcor  “Puttyless” 
Skylights  can  also  he  made  up  in  Standard 
Style  ( Laid-in-Putty ) if  desired.  We  are 
also  prepared  to  furnish  special  sizes,  matle 
up  to  Architects’  or  Contractors’  specifica- 
tions, in  either  Puttyless  or  Puttied  Construc- 
tion.

Details  of  the  “Puttyless”  Feature 


The  cross  sectional  detail  of  the  l’utt\  less  Bar 
cotistruction  shows  how  the  Copper  Clips, 
fastened  over  the  cross  bars,  securely  hold 
the  ^lass  in  position,  leakproof,  without  the  use  of  any 
putty,  riie  above  details  show  the  practical  provision 
that  is  made  in  all  IVIilcor  Skyli^^hts  for  condensa- 
tion of  atmospheric  moisture  ami  drains  for  rain. 


All  Puttyless  and  other  Milcor  Skylights  are 
made  water-tight  and  are  sturdily  built.  Bars  are 
riveted  and  soldered,  making  rigid,  enduring  joints. 

It  is  a simple  matter  to  replace  damaged  glass  in 
Puttylcss  Skvlights  and  it  can  be  done  quickly,  with- 
out special  tools.  The  Puttyless  line  of  Skylights  is 
recommended  as  the  most  practical  on  the  market.

“Torpedo”  Ventilating  Skylight 


T1  II-l  unique  efficiency  of  the  Milcor 
“ Eorpedo,”  both  as  a Ventilator  and 
as  a Skylight,  appeals  to  Architects  and 
Builders  for  a wide  variety  of  types  of  build- 
ings. 

Its  hipped  glass  top  lets  in  an  abundance 
of  diffused  light,  as  a good  skylight  should, 
and  as  a Wntilator  it  has  many  highly  com- 


mendable features.  Its  movable  shutter  regu- 
lates the  amount  of  ventilation.  The  con- 
trolling mechanism  is  simple  and  easy  to 
operate  — you  merely  pull  down  the  chain  or 
release  it  according  to  the  amount  of  opening 
desired.  The  ventilating  opening  is  screened 
to  prev'ent  entrance  of  birds,  sparks  or  embers. 


The  No.  901  Milcor  “Torpedo'' 
has  the  same  features  as  the  No.

merely  a SiiiRle  Pitch  Skylif^ht

Sheet  Metal  Cornices  in  Steel, 

ARMCO  Ingot  Iron, 
Zinc  or  Copper 

SAFETY  is  such  an  important  element  in  considering 
ornamental  cornices  that  architects  have  welcomed 
particularly  the  development  of  modern  Milcor 
Metal  Cornices.  Heavy,  ornamental  cornices  of  stone  or 
masonry  are  mighty  dangerous  ....  and  they  are  ex- 
pensive. Sheet  metal  cornices  are  economical,  permanent 
and  safe. 

Designing  and  building  cornices  has  become  a par- 
ticular feature  of  our  business.  Varieties  of  fine  designs 
are  available  from  stock.  Then  too,  our  facilities  enable 
us  to  design  special  cornices  and  architectural  ornaments 
ranging  from  the  smallest  units  to  large,  elaborate  pieces, 
reproducing  faithfully  in  metal  the  minutest  details  of 
original  drawings. 

Send  us  your  plans,  sketches  and  specifications.  Esti- 
mates will  be  furnished  promptly.  This  service  does  not 
obligate  you  in  the  least,  and  it  should  help  you  sell 
more  Milcor  Sheet  Metal  Cornices. 

Milcor  Cornices  are  furnished  in  large  sections,  com- 
plete, ready  to  erect.  .Ml  brackets,  modillions,  and 
dentils  are  riveted  and  soldered  to  the  cornices  and  the 
mouldings  run  through. 

While  we  are  showing  a few  of  the  many  Milcor 
Cornices  on  the  following  pages,  please  remember  that 
we  have  complete  facilities  and  a thoroughly  trained 
organization  for  designing  and  producing  special  designs 
or  types  of  cornices  or  other  architectural  sheet  metal 
work.  A consultation  will  not  obligate  you  or  cost  you 
anything.

Sheet  Metal  Marquees  or  Canopies 

Superior  to  Heavy,  Clumsy,  Cast  Metal  Marquees 


The  heavy  cast  iron  Marquees  over  entrances 
to  buildings  are  no  longer  in  vogue.  That 
t\'pe  of  Marquee  was  clumsy  in  appearance, 
dangerous  because  of  its  ponderous  weight,  unduly 
expensive,  difficult  to  erect  and  altogether  imprac- 
tical for  many  buildings. 

Milcor  Sheet  Metal  Marquees,  or  Canopies, 
eliminate  all  these  objectionable  features.  They 
permit  a fineness  of  design  which  it  is  impossible 
to  obtain  from  other  materials.  Ehey  weigh  only 
a fraction  <as  much  as  cast  iron  t\pes,  thus  relieving 
the  building  of  considerable  strain  and  making  the 
entrance  safer.  When  made  of  I’ure  Copper, 
.M  ilcor  Marquees  are  everlasting.  When  made  of 
Open  Hearth  (lalvanized  Steel  or  Galvanized 
Coppered- Aletal,  they  can  he  preserved  indefinitely 
by  occasional  painting — less  fretjuent  painting  than 
is  ordinarily  recpiired  for  cast  iron  types. 


In  spite  of  better  appearance  and  such  important 
practical  advantages,  Milcor  Metal  Marquees  cost 
only  a fraction  of  the  price  of  cast  iron  Marquees. 

We  have  specialized  on  this  type  of  work  and 
can  point  to  many  fine  examples  where  much  money 
was  saved  and  unequalled  artistic  effects  were 
produced  by  our  methods.  We  are  in  position  to 
submit  appropriate  designs  and  work  out  all 
details  for  any  style  of  building  if  front  dimensions 
and  sizes  of  openings  of  structure  are  specified, 
(^r  we  can  follow  the  architect’s  layout  and  details 
precisely. 

We  build  Marquees  complete,  ready  to  erect. 
Write  for  specific  information  and  estimates  when- 
ever you  have  a Marquee  problem  to  solve. 

Illustrations  of  typical  installations  are  shown 
on  the  next  few  pages.

THK  clia^r;iins  above  show  the  various  measure- 
ments needed  for  different  styles  of  ceilinjjs. 
By  followinji  tliese  fundamentals  in  makinf^ 
your  measurements  you  will  aid  us  in  arraiifiinfj; 
appropriate  combination  desif^ns. 

W hen  sendiiifi  in  measurements  for  metal  ceil- 
ings or  sidewalls,  include  a simple  outline  to  indi- 
cate the  shape  and  dimensions  of  the  room.  Draw- 
ings do  not  ha\e  to  he  made  to  scale  — just  {jive 


exact  measurements. 

Also  indicate  the  exact  size  and  location  of  all 
offsets,  such  as  chimneys,  ele\ators,  skylight  open- 
ings, beams  and  stairways.  State  whether  or  not 
cornice  may  he  used  across  front  of  room. 

When  estimating,  do  not  make  any  deductions  for 
skylight  openings  of  less  than  100  square  feet,  nor 
for  stairways,  chimneys  or  other  openings  or  pro- 
jections of  less  than  50  square  feet.

How  to  Estimate  Area 
of  Ceiling 

Add  to  the  length  of  the  room  the  ilepth  of  the  cornice 
phi>  2 inches  for  tiller  lap  on  both  ends  or  wherever  used. 

Multiply  this  by  the  sum  of  the  width  of  the  room, 
depth  of  the  cornice  and  2-inch  filler  lap  where  used. 
For  example:  A room  26  x 54  feet,  with  12-inch  cornice

Directions  for  Applying 


Metal  Ceilings  and  Side  Walls 


A BLUEPRINT  working  drawing  showing  the  ar- 
rangement of  the  various  plates,  is  furnished  with 
every  ceiling.  Itemized  packing  sheets  giving 
quantity  and  catalog  number  and  size  of  the  material 
are  also  included. 

The  first  thing  to  do  when  a shipment  arrives  is  to 
check  the  number  of  packages  with  the  bill  of  lading. 
The  contents  of  each  package  should  then  be  checked 
and  counted  against  the  packing  sheet. 

Check  the  measurements  on  the  blueprint  with  the 
building.  If  any  material  is  short  in  the  crates,  or  the 
blueprint  does  not  agree  with  the  building,  notify  us  at 
once  before  you  start  to  erect  the  ceiling.  After  the 
material  and  blueprint  are  carefully  checked,  proceed  as 
follows : 

If  possible,  it  is  best  to  scaffold  the  whole  room,  but 
a movable  scaffold  may  be  used. 

When  ceiling  is  boarded  or  sheathed  most  of  our 
designs  can  be  applied  directly  to  the  sheathing.  If  the 
ceiling  is  plastered,  wood  furring  strips  must  be  employed, 
with  exception  of  Plate  No.  1200,  shown  on  page  47,  as 
it  is  not  practical  to  apply  other  designs  direct  to  lath 
or  plaster.  It  is  not  necessary  to  remove  old  plaster,  as 
the  wood  furring  strips  will  hold  it  in  place.  If  plaster 
is  loose,  extra  strips  should  be  placed  where  necessary. 

Follow  the  blueprint  carefully  and  observe  the  start- 
ing point  and  center  line.  The  starting  point  is  not 


always  on  the  center  line,  tlreat  care  must  be  taken  to 
make  sure  that  the  center  line  is  in  the  exact  center  on 
both  ends,  as  well  as  the  middle  of  the  room.  Many 
rooms  vary  on  the  ends,  so  it  is  best  to  get  the  exact 
center  on  each  end  and  strike  a chalk  line.  I'his  should 
be  done  lengthwise  as  well  as  crosswise  of  the  room. 

Observe  whether  plates  start  on  the  center  line  or  not. 
If  not,  measure  the  proper  distance  on  side  of  center 
line,  and  if  wood  strips  are  used,  center  the  strips  on  this 
line.  You  then  have  the  starting  line  one  way  of  the 
building.  The  same  operations  are  necessary  the  other 
way  of  the  building. 

On  the  plan,  find  the  location  of  the  starter  plate. 
Observe  the  exact  distance  from  the  rear  wall,  and  then, 
with  the  location  of  the  starting  line,  \ou  are  ready  to 
apply  the  field  plates. 

Strike  a chalk  line  for  each  wood  strip  placed,  taking 
care  that  the  proper  distance  retjuired  will  fit  in  the 
center  of  the  strip.  If  the  strips  are  put  six  inches  on 
center  for  field  plates,  no  cross  furring  is  necessary.  If 
placed  twenty-four  inches  on  center,  cross  furring  is 
necessary  everj'  forty-eight  inches,  or  on  the  end  of  every 
plate.  The  next  step  depends  on  the  design  and  st\le  of 
ceiling.  If  the  design  has  a border  around  the  field  plates, 
this  should  be  put  on  next.  If  a molding  or  molded  filler 
is  used,  this  can  be  applied  next  to  the  field  plate  or 
border.

Method  Xo.  1 


Method  Xo.  2 


If  a center  ornanientation  filler  is  used,  this  should 
he  applied  after  the  held  plate  is  in  position  and  before 
placing  the  mold  or  cornice.  Care  should  be  taken  to  get 
this  hller  in  the  exact  center  of  the  space.  The  cornice 
generally  projects  more  than  the  mold,  so  great  care  must 
be  used  in  striking  the  chalk  line  of  the  cornice  and  mold- 
ing. 'I'he  balance  of  the  space  will  be  covered  by  the 
center  ornamentation  hller. 

After  this  the  molding  is  applied.  This  makes  a 
hnish  on  one  side  of  the  hller.  The  cornice  is  applied 
last  and  completes  the  ceiling.  W’e  furnish  stamped  one- 
piece  mitres  for  all  cornices  of  a depth  of  four  inches 
or  over  for  right-angle  corners  only.  All  irregular 
mitres  must  be  cut  by  the  erector.  We  send  a sufficient 
amount  of  material  to  make  these  mitres,  but  cannot  be 


held  responsible  for  any  unnecessary  waste  of  materials. 

When  iron  girders  are  used  in  a building  and  are  to 
be  covered  with  metal  ceiling,  it  is  necessary  to  build 
woodwork  around  same  to  receive  the  ceiling,  the  con- 
struction of  which  will  be  shown  on  the  drawing  we 
furnish. 

Ceiling  plates  cannot  be  arranged  to  accommodate 
gas  and  electric  light  drops;  but  all  such  drops  must  be 
placed  to  conform  to  our  drawing  and  layout.  Lights 
can  be  dropped  from  either  the  center  or  corner  of  the 
plate,  which  necessitates  but  very  little  change  to  get 
them  to  come  about  where  they  are  wanted. 

Side  walls  are  easily  applied.  One-half  inch  sheath- 
ing or  strips  are  used.  If  strips  are  used,  they  should  be 
placed  six  to  twelve  inches  on  center. 


Metal  Ceilings  as  Applied  to  Concrete  Construction 


There  is  a growing  demand  for  “Invisible  Joint" 
.Metal  Ceilings  for  Cement  or  Concrete  Buildings, 
especially  in  factory  offices  and  show-rooms.  Stucco  de- 
signs, which  are  in  architectural  harmony  with  the  cement 
work,  are  generally  recommended.  These  ceilings  are 
much  less  expensive  than  ornamental  plaster  work,  fullv 
as  artistic  and  more  dependable.  Three  methods  of 
applying  same  are  here  shown. 

Method  No.  1 

shows  application  of  metal  ceiling  to  building  with 
concrete  beams  and  book  tile  ceiling  or  roof.  Toggle

HIS  scene  of  (liniliel’s, 

Milwaukee  department  store, 
shows  Miicor  ornamental  cop- 
panelling (indicated  by  the 
ws) . 


ON  the  Ardmore  Apartment 
Hotel,  Mdwaukee,  the 
architectural  sheet  metal 
work  by  Miicor  is  a tine  exam- 
ple of  excellent  adaptation  of 
stock  designs  with  some  spe- 
cially designed  ornaments.  The 
('resting  shown  at  the  right  is 
Mdeor  design  No.  3182.  The 
I’rns  and  Spires  were  specially 
designed. 

Helow  is  another  Miicor  stock 
design  ('resting  No.  3164  on 
the  exclusive  Shorecrest  Hotel. 
M il  waukee. 


By  using  Miicor  copper  architectural  ornaments  in  this  building,  $7,500.00  was  saved 
over  the  original  plans,  and  the  general  effect  is  more  artistic,  permanent  and  safe.
